Peyton Manning’s Retirement Recalls 10 Best Battles With Tom Brady (Photos)

Peyton Manning announced his retirement Monday, meaning he’s leaving behind a historical career. That career also happens to include an epic rivalry with Tom Brady.

Manning’s retirement means the Denver Broncos’ 20-18 victory over the New England Patriots in the 2015 AFC Championship Game gave him the final win of the quarterback battle. However, the competition dates to 2001, so there has been plenty of action since then.

Brady leads the rivalry overall, with an 11-6 regular-season record against Manning, but Manning has him beat in the playoffs at 3-2. Still, there are quite a few memorable games within those 22 contests. So let’s relive the top 10 games of the Brady-Manning rivalry.
